The field-tested resource list it took a decade to earn and the cues to use it well.

 

You already know what you like.
But when it comes to buying, hesitation creeps in.

You want to trust your instincts.
To know a fair or gallery is worth the visit.
To be certain a piece belongs in your collection.

Instead, you spend hours searching, scrolling, comparing — wondering if you’re missing something important.

The Collector’s Guide removes the noise. It puts the right names, places, and sources in your hands so you can move like an insider — immediately.

Because taste isn’t instinct. It’s attention.

You don’t need another list of trends or tools.
You need access to the sources that will sharpen your eye every time you use them.

That’s exactly what The Collector’s Guide delivers — a curated map to the places, voices, and resources that matter, plus the prompts and habits that turn looking into connoisseurship.

In 38 pages, you’ll find:

  • Where to Go — the key fairs, museums, galleries, and vintage markets worth your time.

  • Where to Look Online — trusted marketplaces, editorial platforms, and discovery tools that sharpen your feed.

  • Who to Learn From — curators, dealers, and designers whose vision shapes the market.

  • What to Read, Watch, and Listen To — journals, books, and media for deeper cultural fluency.

  • How to Keep Your Eye Sharp — behaviours, prompts, and archiving techniques that make looking a habit.

  • When to Get Help — clear triggers for working with an advisor and understanding placement strategy.

Format: Digital PDF. Instant download. Yours to keep.
